Sinevibes has announced the release of Circuit, its new Audio Unit effect plugin for multi-band waveshape modelling.
Circuit splits the signal into three frequency bands, and passes each band through its own processing engine which offers 12 different algorithms – from sine-based waveshape transformers and foldback distortion, to circuit-bent filters, lo-fi and ring modulation. These models can be further modulated by an input envelope follower, tempo-synchronized LFO or two-dimensional Lorenz attractor.
All this is wrapped into a colour-coded interface based on Sinevibes design language.
Some of the Circuit's applications include:
- Morph lifeless waveforms into entirely new, rich and dense sounds.
- Transform synth basses and leads into completely different, layered material.
- Re-synthesise and mangle electronic drum loops beyond recognition.
Circuit is immediately available for $29 as a 32-/64-bit Audio Unit plugin for Intel Macs running OS X 10.5 or later.
